ABSTRACT
This article deals with inflections operated by clinical approaches to work that take it as an activity, notably the Ergology (whose main author is the Frenchman Yves Schwartz) and the Clinic of Activity (whose main author is the Frenchman Yves Clot), and the formulations of the German philosopher Walter Benjamin regarding experience and narrative. Firstly, the way in which the concept of experience is presented in the mentioned clinical approaches to work is studied. Then, we investigate Walter Benjamin’s formulation of the concept of experience and its intimate relationship with narrative. The aim of this dialogue is to establish a path pointing to the production of a clinic of the experience of work, which, at the threshold of activity, uses narrative as a clinical apparatus. The narrative production in the field of work thus presents itself as a powerful way to face many challenges posed in the field of contemporary work.
